Someone's Coming to Town

You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout I’m telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He see’s you when you’re sleeping,
He knows when you’re awake.
He knows when you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake.

Have you ever really thought about that song?
I did this morning. I was thinking how much our children believe in that tune during the Christmas season. How society can persuade our children around Christmas time that they should be on the look out for this man, this Santa Claus that will bring them everything they ask for if they are good.

Well, that’s how we, as followers of Jesus Christ should be, Good. We should be on the look out, watching as well as praying for the coming of the Lord. We should watch what we say, where we go and what we do in anticipation of HIS return. I hardly hear anymore about Jesus’ return, but I think about it quite often, if not every day. I am always aware of HIS presence; hoping that the thing I’m about to do or say next is going to be pleasing in HIS sight.

He does see you when you are sleeping, and whom you’re sleeping with. He knows when you’re awake, and what you are doing while awake. He definitely knows if you’ve been bad or good, obedient or disobedient to HIS word.

So, as an encouragement to all of you and you, myself included better watch out, and don’t you faint, don’t be slothful and a playful saint because Jesus Christ is coming to town...

Then, the clouds shall unfold, preparing HIS entrance, then we shall behold HIM, face to face.
Watch as well as Pray.
